2025 Fantasy Outlook
Sviatchenko had a mediocre 2024 season, but there was at least some positive progression from 2023. The Danish defender produced seven clean sheets, netted a goal and delivered three assists (including playoffs). In 2023, he didn't have a goal contribution and produced just four clean sheets. After starting 31 matches last season including the playoffs, he should begin 2025 as a regular with the hope he continues getting work on set pieces after reaching 21 shots on target a year ago.
Serves suspension
Sviatchenko has served his one match suspension and will make the trip to Colorado on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
Sviatchenko will make his return for Houston after missing the last match through suspension. He is the heart and soul of the team's defense, starting all four matches played there, recording 17 clearances with five tackles while making one block in the process as he continues to look for his first clean sheet of the campaign.
